Pat Mcgrath The Lunar Year Collection Is Pretty But Here’s The Problem
Pat Mcgrath The Lunar Year Collection has launched at patmcgrath.com and sephora.com and is available to celebrate the Chinese New Year 2023. You can also snag it at 10% Off with code LUNAR10. Lunar Year feels incredibly early this year. Doesn’t it? But it’s soon on the way and of course, the regular round-up of makeup and beauty products has gotten packaged up for the Holiday. I always find it a cop-out when brands take products and repackage them in red. Dude, come on! Put a little effort into things. The red packaging is pretty but something new would be lovely. Like Charlotte Tilbury always does a Lunar Year Magic Cream but heck, I wouldn’t be averse to a nice red eyeshadow palette!
Sadly, Pat Mcgrath’s Lunar Year Collection is a repromote of a lot of products. Venus in Fleurs Luxe Quad: Voyeuristic Vixen is now available in limited edition red packaging but it has been available in standard packaging in the past which makes it a repromoted eyeshadow palette! As far as I know the lipstick is a new shade. Please correct me if I’m wrong but MatteTrance Lipstick in Rouge 8 is a new shade. It’s a brick red which makes me happy as I tend to love a good, warm brick red.
But one of the biggest disappointments here is the Sublime Perfection Blurring Under-Eye Powder in Light is repromoted. This kind of sucks as it was available for a while for $16 on sale (by the way all the other shades are in stock and on sale for $16! The banana shade is brilliant!). But it is out of stock now and available again in the Lunar Year Collection for $32. It kind of sucks since the other shades are all half off (P.S. That LUNAR10 code will get you 10% off the $16 sale ones).
I’m ranting obviously but I always get so terribly disappointed with how little effort goes into Lunar Year Collections. Something new would be great!
If Pat Mcgrath’s Lunar Year Collection is tempting you I’d recommend at least getting it directly from their website with the 10% promo code.
Let me know if you get anything!
